Special Report: Miers Tells Specter that She Supports Griswold v. Connecticut ("Right to Privacy")

Fox News | October 17, 2005

[shhrubbery!]

Roberts agrees that the marital right of privacy extends to contraception.

Yes. Doesn't everybody? (Except for the Pope and other extremely strict Catholics?)

Again you're missing the point: The distinction between the court's conclusion, and the reasoning leading to that conclusion.

It's a distinction with a difference. Even Chuckie Cheese Schumer realizes that, as reflected in the question Schumer usually asks federal court nominees. Again:

Do you agree with the holding [in Griswold]? Do you agree with the outcome, but get there in a different way? [emphasis mine]

But inexplicably Schumer didn't ask that question of Roberts.

I personally interpret Roberts's comments to Kohl re Griswold as a subtle way to show that his judicial opinions would not be unduly adherent to Catholic doctrine.

But it's clear to me you don't want to get the point, so I give up.

"They can sit outside his house, though."

That is surveillance.

That is surveillance, I agree. But I think we have different expectation of privacy inside our houses versus outside on the street.
